First Sunset Overdrive Gameplay Video Released, And It’s All Sorts Of Awesome

Up until this point Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive has been something of a mystery, only a stylish CGI trailer giving us a glimpse at what it could be.

But now Insomniac have released the first ever gameplay trailer which talks us through some of the enemies, gameplay mechanics and story elements of the game, and it’s kind of awesome. It’s almost like the anti-Call of Duty, a shooter intent on doing the exact opposite of most modern, military games, featuring vibrant graphics, fast gameplay and a clear emphasis on fun over all else.

Looking at the trailer the only concern I have at this point is how long the gameplay will keep players interested, but of course that’s very hard to judge just from a trailer, and doubtless there’s much more to the game.
